Description:  Trailing power is this fine 1992 vintage Draper Taper #2415. In CN's recent purge (late 2020/early 2021) of 28 Dash-8s, including 19 Draper Tapers, this unit somehow escaped the scrapline.

CN 2417
Title:  CN 2417
Description:  Sister Dash-8s, both built in March 1990, have just finished switching cars for Train 531 at Port Robinson Yard. It's always cool for me when I see two diesels with consecutive road numbers. In their vast pool of locomotives, what is the likelihood of these two CN engines (that very likely rolled off the assembly line together almost 30 years ago, and have probably traversed a good part of the USA and Canada) finding themselves back to back once again - this time in Port Robinson.

Description:  Train 331 a split-second after smashing through the residual snow piles left behind by the plows at the crossing. This is a REALLY long-distance shot so not as crisp as I usually like, but I love the way the snow is wrapping right around the entire locomotive - like some icy vortex.

Description:  Not long after the Saturday morning VIA Canadian comes this inbound intermodal. Trailing locomotive is one of my favorites - a Dash-8 with the Draper Taper body design.

CN 2427
Title:  CN 2427
Description:  Gotta love daylight saving time. Now I can finally get back to normal and try to catch some afternoon and evening shots, like today. After a morning with not a train in sight, I headed into the late afternoon. It wasn't longer than 5 minutes after arriving at one of my favourite spots, at Herald Road, that southbound intermodal 106 rounded Franklin Curve - right into my waiting camera lens. Gotta love the face of the Draper Taper Dash-8s.
